Thats not a slide on Roy Rogers pinky, its a time machine. With it, Rogers transports you to the Mississippi Deltas past and future. - Guitar Player
He absolutely shredded that crowd [at New Orleans Jazz Fest].....and me too - the guy is frightening! - Bonnie Raitt
This is the album of a lifetime, the distillation of everything that has made Roy Rogers such an important blues artist over the years. The slide work is superb and the band rocks with white hot intensity. A masterpiece. - John Swenson, Author, Rolling Stone, Elmore, Stereophile
The guitar master is one of the greatest slide guitar players anywhere. - San Francisco Chronicle
Born in Redding, California in 1950, Roy began playing guitar at twelve years of age. A year later at age 13, he was performing in a rock 'n' roll band that wore gold lame jackets and played Little Richard and Chuck Berry tunes. He discovered the great blues players early on, especially when his older brother brought home an album by Robert Johnson. Thus began his love of the blues, slide guitar in particular, which had an immediate effect on Roy, who was indeed named after the King of the Cowboys. Through the years he developed a distinctive style of playing slide guitar that not only emerged, but one that is instantly recognizable.
Richard Shindell is the master of point-of-view, sometimes playing the dispassionate observer, but often inhabiting the very soul of one of his characters.... Shindell wraps his poetic vision in moody, moving arrangements. The thinking man's folk singer has just raised the bar. Rob Weir, Valley Advocate
Richard Shindell is one of the most articulate and moving songwriters from America today. He lives now in Buenos Aires, but his lyrical depictions of average, everyday people in sometimes extraordinary and sometimes ordinary situations, sung with modesty and infused with compassionate humanity establishes him as a premiere poetic voice in today's America which so badly needs to recapture not Greatness, but a sense of spirituality and soul.

Friendly "dive" bar with a "no assholes" rule. Main patio is really pretty awesome and it's where we host our Weekend Music On The Patio series Fri-Sunday afternoons. And our backyard garden is where you can go have a smoke, play ping-pong and pet the neighborhood cats or play with some of the fun dogs that hang around,
